Incoming Russell moan over the radio

and there we go....

I'm going for dinner and catch the last 10 laps I think....

I just cooked dinner while waiting for the race restart, and watching the last 30 laps. Watching it while eating is spoiling the food.

I wonder if the Merc's are getting low on engine life and having to run on a more conservative map. They are normally slow on the straight, but this slow?

 

[Scam]

God this is depressing. lol. I’m going to make a curry.

 

[Zowghi]

hahah, F1 commentary throwing shade at George!

"they might want to turn down the volume on the team radio"

Yip - off to make a pasta bake .... back later to see Max win again...

 

[Slam62]

Is Russell a bit thick?

So we need to introduce more lift and coast. Finding free air where we can for this PU temp. Gap behind 4.4 to Gasly. - George Russell

Looks like they are struggling with cooling

Landos just done a fastest lap, gives something the commentators to big up for the rest of the race with "Potentially" catching Max.

*edit*

Yeah, Max just being Max. He's just managing the gap, the moment Lando has a whiff of being faster he one ups him.

Hamilton not even trying to defend against Sainz, they must be pals

So he didn't move to cover the inside line into T4?

****, I've got the wrong gear. - George Russell

 

[utajoker]

There's a few overtakes but this one is a bit dull

Bottas pit radio - Retire the car

Lando is matching Max's times very closely and consistently though. It's good to see something matching the pace.

Hoping desperately for a non-dangerous car failure of some description to force a safety car and hope to get something interesting happening.

 

[imtoooldforthis]

Still 30 laps left somehow, bleak

 

[Flibster]

Sargeant legitimately running in P11

It goes for any race leader. They just tell them what the car behind is doing pace wise, so they can match it. I don’t think Norris is doing anything special, although his pace is obviously the best of the rest.

Gasly radio - Check the brakes. Pulling under the brakes.
